I wonder if they chose large sets because the profit margin works
better for a small number of expensive sets.
However, if "set size" really is an issue, they could bundle
together a few sets like sets 6041 (armour shop), 6040 (weaponsmith),
and 6067 (inn) and 6048 (wizard's workshop) into a "make your
own medieval village" larger and more profitable playset.
Well, it's fun to dream!
